Do You Have Wisdom?

Key Scripture: Proverbs 4:7

    Good morning Saints : ) I must begin by saying that it is truly an honor to write the message for this week. Sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking about Father and His amazing power. I know that sounds random, but I was looking at pictures of the planets the other day. I couldn't help but fathom His awesome and infinite power. LOL, I just wanted to share that with ya'll.

    After praying and asking Father for a message for this week, He took me to Proverbs 4:7. "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Immediately after reading that I though of Psalm 111:10, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever." Notice that both scriptures deal with "wisdom" and "understanding". Let's first look at what they are saying about "wisdom".

    Proverbs 4:7 says that wisdom is the "principal" thing. In other words, wisdom is something that you want to get "first". Before anything else, make sure you get wisdom! Then in Psalm 111:10 it says that the fear of the Lord is the "beginning" of wisdom. In other words, before you can even get wisdom, you must fear the Lord. Now, do not misinterpret the definition of "fear" in this context with the definition of it in the scripture dealing with the "spirit" of fear. There is a HUGE difference! The definition of fear in this context is "reverence". So, the "reverence" of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and you must do/have this before you can get wisdom!

    Next Monday we will deal with the second part dealing with "understanding". In the meantime, I pray that this message will penetrate your heart and bless you to come closer to Father at the same time. When you get a chance, read the whole chapter of Proverbs 4; it will truly bless your spirit. Until next time, take care Saints, and God Bless!!
